On one Haunt Saturday night, I decided to test how long the extra wait was with Fast Lane. I waiting for DB when the line was back to Rivertown Junction. The wait from that point is normally 50 minutes. I timed it that night at 1 hour 55 minutes, so the wait time was indeed more than double the time.

I always thought that it was interesting that park rules state you are required to hold onto restraints yet they look the other way when people put their arms up. It seems like this is a rule meant to be broken.

I liked Vortex during its first few years as it was a nice, smooth ride. I very rarely ride it now as it has just gotten too rough. It seems like arrow loopers just don't age well. For example, when I rode Great American Scream machine at Six Flags Great Adventure a few years ago, I thought I was going to get whiplash around the rough turns.

I first rode Vortex opening year in 1987 when I was 26 years old. ( And you are saying ov vey, PKI Boy-lol.) Anyway, I was still pretty nervous about coasters with inversions and remember closing my eyes.

They should make the burgers at all their parks like they do at Dorney Park-their burgers are to die for.

You mean their "standing around, pretending like spooky things are happening and tricky editing to make it seem like something actually happened?" Agree with you. That has got to be the phoniest show.

1993-Kumba ( Bush Gardens at Tampa)-the first B & M that I rode and I have been hooked since 1994 Raptor ( CP) -if I remember right was the second invert that B & M built after Batman at SFGA ( America that is.). Improved the experience by adding something that Batman didn't have which was the cobra roll, which is my fav part of the ride. 1996-Mantis ( CP) - tallest and fastest stand-up until Chang and later Riddler's Revenge. In my opinion, one of the most under-rated coasters but, what can I say, I love stand-ups. The floating sensation felt at the crest of the vertical and dive loops is sensational.

Not sure such a deal would be good for my already thick waist line.
